Shut Up, Dude: This Week’s Best And Worst Comments
We kicked this week off with coverage of the Grammys and the public apologies to Kendrick Lamar and Trent Reznor that came in its aftermath. Daft Punk won big, but had to take their helmets off at the airport like the rest of us. On the reunion front, we heard from Afghan Whigs, Fleetwood Mac, Slowdive, and Black Flag. We also talked about Dookie turning 20, Elliott Smith turning EDM, and Burial coming out of hiding. Are you ready for some bing-a-bong-a-bong-a-bong-football? Share your Super Bowl predictions below because I can’t help you there.

“If I had a dollar for every time I heard you guys on the radio….I’d probably have a lot of dollars….right?!?!….right? I’m entirely unsure right now.” I’m fairly certain Chris Booker thought they were Imagine Dragons. |

Yeah I mean I guess it’s good that he realizes how obviously bullshit it is that GKMC didn’t win, but the whole thing has a somewhat disingenuous, self congratulatory feel to it with him posting his own apology to fucking Instagram… |

It was a total humble-bragging “look at me, I’m a nice guy” PR move. |

I think this is great, Stereogum comments could use a little humility |

Except for the fact that you aren’t showing humility/being humble when you post your own apology to social media. If Kendrick had posted it that’s one thing, but for Macklemore to post it? Sorry, that’s just begging to be patted on the back and told how great you are. Again. Oh, and as for rap needing a little humility, that comment just demonstrates a complete lack of understanding for the art form. |

There is only one thing worse than the Grammys, and that is music blog comments about the current state of hip-hop. Thanks, Stereogum, now I have Hyper-AIDS which is in a state of quantum entanglement with Cyborg-Hitler from Earth, v.2.03.47-beta, just by reading this. |

This song also makes me believe that the reason the last album sounded so good was because of Albini, but now he’s back to sounding like he’s in a tin room like the first album. |

If you don’t see the hypocrisy in him calling someone a “whiny piece of shit” when he’s made a career out of lyrics where he’s mostly whining and feeling like a piece of shit, and has used Twitter to do just the same, then you are probably just being blindly biased to your beloved junk punk band. Crucify the truth, hail the famous indie celeb with sociopathic tendencies because he makes music you like… |

Perfect day for him to debut this since I just the other day let everyone here know how much of a hypocritical dick he is. Song is okay at best. No future, but mostly stuck in the past. |

Wow, the use of that song does a spectacular job of representing the bear’s desire for that yogurt. |
